"Manifest destiny" is the philosophy that undergirds much of the world's racist policies. You might not see it on bumper stickers or hear about it on the news, but Manifest Destiny is a concept that had a huge impact on the world of centuries past, especially when it came to Empire, expansion, and eradication of undesirable people and cultures. Manifest Destiny helped colonialists accept the darker aspects of their various conquests, because if God wants you to have this stuff anyway, why worry about the wellbeing of anyone who might be standing in your way? Manifest Destiny exists today in many different watered down forms. Here's why Manifest Destiny was way more messed-up than you thought.
